Olympia Express Seal Kit Brew Group Cremina SL – Complete Maintenance Kit
The complete seal kit for maintaining the Cremina SL pressure spring brew group – all relevant seals, including circlips, in one package, tailored to the SL brew group with its spring-driven mechanism. Original part from Schwanden GL. Olympia has put together its own kit for the SL, parallel to the Cremina seal kit – the SL brew group has a different design and requires different geometries.
Official Olympia Service Video
Olympia has released the complete maintenance video for the Cremina SL brew group seal kit – order of circlips, application of the assembly jig, step-by-step installation: Watch Olympia Service Video on YouTube. It is recommended to watch the entire video once before performing the service.
What makes this kit special
SL-specific Seal Configuration
The Cremina SL has a completely different brew group design than the classic Cremina – the pressure spring requires different seal geometries in several places. Olympia has put together this kit parallel to the Cremina seal kit, precisely for the SL brew group requirements. All circlips are included in the kit.
Complete Kit for General Maintenance
All relevant seals for the SL brew group in one package – no searching for individual parts, no reordering forgotten components. For the planned general maintenance of the SL brew group (every few years of intensive use), this is the most honest solution.
Olympia Original Kit
Manufactured at the Olympia factory in Schwanden GL, precisely matched to the SL brew group tolerances. Other third-party seal kits cannot guarantee the SL pressure spring requirements.

Who this kit is for
For SL owners who want to fully overhaul their machine after several years of intensive use – including all seals around the pressure spring brew group. Also for second-hand SL machines that are to start with fresh seals.
Accessories that fit the SL service
Piston assembly aid Cremina SL (Art. 230124) as a necessary tool for piston removal and installation, and assembly jig Cremina brew group (Art. 240124) for inserting the seals on the piston: both in our Olympia Express Collection. Cleaning powder for backflushing after service: Machine and Grinder Cleaning Collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an official service video?
Yes. Olympia has published the complete maintenance video for the Cremina SL brew group seal kit on YouTube: https://youtu.be/axVfVya9wHo. It shows the order of all circlips and the application of the assembly jig.
What distinguishes the SL seal kit from the Cremina seal kit?
The SL has a completely different brew group design with a pressure spring – this requires different seal geometries in several places. Both kits are not interchangeable; each is specific to the respective brew group design.
Do I need tools for installation?
Yes – the piston assembly aid Cremina SL (230124) is necessary for safe removal and installation of the piston, and the assembly jig (240124) for clean insertion of the seals on the piston. Without these tools, the service cannot be performed safely.
Can I install the kit myself or should I go for service?
Both ways are legitimate. Anyone with prior technical experience in espresso machine service, who has watched the Olympia video and owns the tools, can do it themselves. If you are unsure: a service appointment in our showrooms or directly at Olympia in Schwanden is the honest alternative.
Where can I buy the kit or see it in person?
Online via coffeecoachingclub.ch with delivery in 2–4 working days throughout Switzerland and to Liechtenstein. In person at our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44, 3011 Bern) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b, 8050 Zurich). Click and Collect available.
Roastery Tip
Anyone taking over a second-hand SL machine gives it an honest fresh start with this kit plus the appropriate tools – the pressure spring brew group is one of the most beautiful pieces of Swiss mechanics and deserves clean seals. Watch the Olympia video completely, then work calmly and step by step. Our opinion, one of many.
